Doctor Who “Legend of the Sea Devils” – Review

Twice this week I’ve had the simple concept of lesbians shouted at me in the most ham-fisted way possible. The other occasion was HBO’s Julia, because the concept of someone menopausal in 1963 also being uncomfortable having a relationship with anyone that’s…

Moon Knight “The Friendly Type” Review

Marvel’s Moon Knight is back again for its third episode and brings its best foot forward. This has been the best episode yet, keeping the air of mystery while slowly peeling back the layers revealing something deeper. However, Moon Knight just can’t escape…

Doctor Who “The Woman Who Lived” – Review

The following article contains a small number of early spoilers for V. E. Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Do we count this as part 2? I guess it’s strictly how you perceive time and from whom’s direction. For one side,…

Moon Knight “Summon the Suit” Review

The latest MCU TV show has returned for its second episode this week, and I was left feeling deflated by the end of “Summon the Suit’s” 52 minute run time. This episode was bogged down by repetitive dialogue, a tedious main character,…

Doctor Who “The Girl Who Died” – Review

Ahh, Jamie Mathieson, you at least had one decent episode in “Mummy on the Orient Express.” At least that had some color about it and was a bit rosy in the cheeks and full of life. Yet here we’re left with desaturated…

Moonfall (Film) – Review

Ridiculous, unrealistic, downright stupid, and a hell of a lot of silly fun. Roland Emmerich’s latest film, Moonfall, is all of these things, following more than three decades of ramblings that would typically have you sectioned under the mental health act. Emmerich’s films…

Moon Knight “The Goldfish Problem” Review

Like many other Marvel Cinematic Universe fans, I have little to no experience with the character of Moon Knight. To keep this ignorance up for the release of Marvel’s newest mini-series I intentionally stayed away from any “character explanations” or “origin stories” of a minor character.…

Doctor Who “Under the Lake” & “Before the Flood” – Review

Another double-bill, another base-under-siege, and another episode with non-corporeal beings of a victorian bent. Series 9 of Doctor Who is kicking off with my favorite things. It is not opposite day today, you say? Oh well, back to hating another story that makes me…

Doctor Who “The Magician’s Apprentice” & “The Witch’s Familiar” – Review

Warning: The following article may contain language unsuitable for some readers. Reader’s discretion is advised. To continue on my misanthropy of last week: Steven, everyone loves when you climb up yourself for the sake of nostalgia, bringing back all the different designs…

Doctor Who “Last Christmas” – Review

I’m not even in the mood to make the music reference, and I think that’s the sign of how poorly I think of Steven Moffat’s fourth from last Christmas special. Sure, we’ve got Frosty-Claus and I do love a bit of Nick…
